How do I configure .NET web service to require all consumers to supply credentials, then verify their validity against database table?
If you’re using class ASP.NET ASMX Web Services, I would suggest you download Microsoft’s Web Service Enhancements 3.0. That will enable you to properly support WS-Security.
You could also use custom SOAP Headers, but that method doesn’t conform to WS-Security standards and could cause interoperability problems if you’re consuming the services from a non-.NET platform.
If you’re using WCF, you just need to configure your binding to use the proper type of security. Take a look at Bindings and Security. It’s a broad overview and you’ll have to dig a little deeper to get the specifics for your type of binding.
